Editor's Desk 11387 Views 0 Comments 1 min read

Abstract: The advancement of information communication technology has triggered a revolution in using the Internet for legitimate educational purposes on university campuses. Therefore, the Internet has changed the way of human communication and contributed to the development of mankind. On the other hand it is regrettable that its revolution has helped malicious users to exploit it for the malign purpose to commit a cyberspace crime that has in turn negatively affected fellow users who were preyed on by cyber predators. This work aimed to examine the awareness of cybersecurity, the measures taken to protect against cyberattacks and the state of victimization among professors at Ambo University.

End-to-End Service Monitoring for Zero-Touch Networks

Editor's Desk 840 Views 0 Comments 1 min read

In this work, we propose the Monitoring Model Generator (MMG) component to automatically construct templates for service monitoring. MMG implements a novel methodology where service deployment models and standard information models are used as inputs to generate a high-level monitoring template, called Service Monitoring Model (SMM) and built upon an ontology-based schema based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF) vocabulary.

A Secure Trust-aware Cross-layer Routing Protocol for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
Sihem Baccari, Mohamed Hadded, Haifa Touati, Paul Muhlethaler

VANETs aim to reduce the number of road accident victims and congestion problems while improving the quality of driving. The absence of a central control can make such a network vulnerable to various attacks, both from the outside and from the interior. In this article, a trust-based model is proposal in which each node establishes a trust relationship with its neighbors based on their behaviors during the channel access and packet forwarding process.
